This is a learning programme that brings together women and girls in Wales to have candid conversations on gender-based violence both in Wales and Africa and look for community-based solutions to addressing violence against women and girls. The learning also includes creating awareness on the issues, culture, religion that in most cases is used to control and abuse women and girls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"1000\" data-id=\"1149\" src=\"https:\/\/bawso.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/girls-at-risk-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1149\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bawso.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/girls-at-risk-3.jpg 750w, https:\/\/bawso.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/girls-at-risk-3-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/bawso.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/girls-at-risk-3-9x12.jpg 9w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"816\" height=\"612\" data-id=\"1148\" src=\"https:\/\/bawso.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/girls-at-risk-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1148\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bawso.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/girls-at-risk-2.jpg 816w, https:\/\/bawso.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/girls-at-risk-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bawso.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/girls-at-risk-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bawso.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/girls-at-risk-2-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 816px) 100vw, 816px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" data-id=\"614\" src=\"https:\/\/bawso.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Bawso-Wales-in-Africa-Project.jpg\" alt=\"Wales in Africa Project -
